Try to go out with someone when you leave the house if you are concerned. Carry pepper spray and always have your cell phone available. If you get a weird feeling about someone, trust your instincts and get away fast. The story about this little 8 year old boy is just very sad.
What the hell was the guy thinking???
I don't know what I would do (well I think I do) if that were to happen to my 8 year old. Indeed, very sad story. I make sure my wife always carries her pepper spray and her Beretta or Walther P99 (with license) every where she goes without me.
Purpleteen, I know the feeling. We had a serial child rapist in our area for a few months until he was caught. Everyone was on high alert until then. It can happen anywhere.
